Not a Charitable Institution.

The Presidents veto of the bill APP
propriating ten thousand dollars for
the relief of the sufferers from drought
in the western part of Texas will meet
the ready approval of all citizens who
care whether the constitution is OBJ
served or not. The objections to this
petty steal are the same as those which
were urged against the bigger steal
proposed in the interest of pauperism
under the name of dependent soldiers
pensions. 1t is Il measure of charity
and nothing else, and if the principle
involved is to be recognized in Ma
tional legislation absolutely no limit
could ever be placed upon the prodi
gality of Congress. That the farmers
in some portions of Texas are in need
of assistance is not questioned, but the
National Government is not the place
to 90 for it.
When farmers who are suffering
from the effects of drought can secure
help from Congress by application,
then anybody who has been I'M
fortunate in business and is in distress
may do the same. Great fires, floods,
cpidemics, tornaloes, boiler eX-
plosions, reaper accidents, coasting
casualties, ship-wrecks, and every
thing under the sun calculated to
arouse the sympathy of the public will
be ample excuses for legislation in the
interest of the victims. The Washing
ington Government is not vast
charitable institution, and was never in
tended as such. The Congressman who
are ever ready to vote away money ON
applications of this character are either
stupidity ignorant of the fundamental
laws of their country, or they are will
fully and outrageously unmindful of
them. The veto may serve to bring
members to clearer understanding of
their Chica0o Herald.

The Act Has Come To Stay"

An illustration of the progress of the
principle of Civil-Service reform is to
be found in the action of the House
Committee of Reform in the Civil-Serv-
ice, which reported favorably a bill
providing for the increase of the sala-
ries of the Civil-Service Commission
ers. At present the Commissioners re-
ceive salary of $500 a year each
The bill would increase their sal
aries to $1,000. Some of the comments
of the committee in reporting
the bill are of interest The committee
says that when the Civil-Serviee act
was passed it was regarded merely as
tentative, and it was believed that the
Commissioners would not have very
much to do. Now, however, the COM
mission has become one of the institu-
tons of the country, and, the commit
tee urges, it is important that the best
talent should be placed at the COM
mand of the President. Under the
present salaries, as is well Known, men
who are conspicuously desirable for
membership in the commission could
only accept the Office at pecuniarY
sacrifice. -Bradstrests

SETTING HENS.
Timely Suggestions on the Proper Prep
aration of Nests, Etc.

Timely Suggestions on the Proper Prep
aration of Nests, Etc.
Nests for setting hens are best on the
ground, but where this is not feasible
put some clean, moist soil in the bot
tom of the nests. A good plan is to
cut a sod of suitable size, turn it over
in your box and pack SO as to be of a
concave shape in the center; then cover
the earth with straw broken short. In
very cold weather mix good proper
ton of feathers in the nest-lining-
chicken feathers may be saved for this
purpose-and put a spoonful of sui
phur in when the hen is set. The heat
of the fowls causes the fumes to pene-
trate every part of their bodies, thereby
killing all vermin and leaving the
brood clean and healthy. Never set
eggs laid near the close of the season
when the hens have been very prolific,
as they will produce weakly chicks liza
BILE to disease and early death. In ar
ranging nests remember that the nature
of the fowls is to hide their nests under
a brush heap or some out OF the way
place, and humor this habit by provid-
ing nests so sheltered or hidden that
they seem to offer seclKion and quiet.
Set fresh, fertile eggs, and you will
have fine, vigorous chicks if the hen
does her duty. Sprinkle the eggs with
tepid water every few days when the hen
leaves for food and rest; this is the Sc
eret Of stolen nests turning out almost
every egg. The hen leaves the nest
early in the morning, vets herself with
dew or water, and at her return shakes
her wet feathers over her eggs Many
young chicks are lost at Matching time
because the little things cxpend alltheir
strength in trying TO get out Of the
tough lining of the shell, and die of ex-
haustion. So don't neglect to give a
thorough wetting the last day before
Matching, and do not apply any sulphur
the last week of incubation Tn sum-
mer provide for ample ventlIatlon and
also for GOODNESS around the nesting
places. ms4Scn7a A0ricasItuTiSt

favoring wind the venerable forty-ton
schooner began her voyage.

said Captain Flagg, who sat comforta-
bly, on the head of the rudder, his hard
hands grasping the spokes of the
wheel.
What is it, sir?' asked Polly, as,
having brought the instrument in ques-
ton from below, her father, placing it

the person in question was none other
than the ubiquitous Jones, who, OBJ
servant of the Captains telescope
gaze, placed the tip of his thumb at the
end of his nose, and twiddled his fin
gers derisively.
"He's bound to keep track of that
ere little han bag" said Captain Flagg
to himself, with dubious shake of the
head. For Captain Flagg had become
convinced, after hearing Tad's story,
that Mr.. Jones, who was evidently a
sharper of the first water, had ascer-
tanned in some way best known to him
self that the sachel contained some
thing of considerable value, or he new
er would have shadowed' its posses
sor so persistently. "I'll advertise it
for the boy soon's ever we get home, :"
he mentally decided, and then gave his
undivided attention to the responsibility
consequent upon his command.

"Aye, aye, SIR" answered the long

his dual capacity of officer and crew,
was "Mr. Small" or "Eph," according
to circumstances. That is, as "Chief
Mate" he was addressed with the pre-
fix of Mr." as member of the port
watch, which now consisted of himself
and Tad, he received his more familiar
title of ''Eph."
Come for'ard along of me-" said
Mr.. Small, ungrammatically and
brusquely, motioning to Tad, who was
staring at the passing tugs and vessels
in open-eyed amazement, and the lat

It was big blunder the Republican
managers made in announcing that
Blaine would be present at the late
banquet under the auspices of Colonel
Atkinson's club. They knew, of
course, that he would not come; and
there was, therefore, a kind of false
pretense in announcing him and in
ducing the faithful to squander their
hard-earned two-dollar bills in vain ex-
pectation. But worse than the false
pretense was the blunder. 1t turned
what otherwise might have been a very
tidy feast into cold and lifeless thing.

an easy posture against the foremost,
with one hand in his trousers pocket,
while with the other he pointed to the
rope in question, IAN you coil 'em up
on that air pin, same as the others is. "
Tad having accomplished the task
satisfactorily, Mr.. Small proceeded to
point out in their several positions the
iib down-haul, the fore and main hal
yards, and peak halyards, and the fore
and main sheets, with some instructions
rs to their several uses, showing Tad
how to coil them up properly, so that
they would be clear for letting 90 if
needful.
''There-them's all the ropes" said
Mr.. Small, with an air of relief.
"Now, all you've got to do is learn
how to steer, an tie reef pint, an
you'll be us good sailor as anybody"
So saying, Mr.. Small pulled jack
knife and piece of shingle fEom his
pocket, and, setting down on the fore
hatch. began whiting, while Tad,
greatly surprised and considerably re-
manship was so easily learned, driftcd
to the rail, where he stood gazing
delightedly at the panorama spread
out before him. Great ships, pulled by
little painting tug-boats-with sides rusty
from a long sea-yoyage-came slowly
up the harbor; while others. with loos-
ened sails, began their outward-bound
voyage, with the chanting song of the
sailors as an accompaniment to the
clanking capstan. Enormous iron
steamers, handsome briggs and three
masted schooncrs as large as the ships
themselves, passed and repassed, in be-
wildering succession.

said Tad, enthusiastically, to Polly,

unsteady legs, he resembled nothing so

Tad was quite delighted at this pros

the voyage should be very long one
he was rather poorly off for clothes.
Though perhaps Che thought) Captain
Flagg could stop somewhere on the

"Where is the vessel bound to,

manner in which Polly spoke of the
voyage that lay before them.

Polly, with a comprehensive wave of

himself wondering if it was anywhere

INSTEAD OF HANGING.
What Electricians Say OF Taking Life by
Means of Battery.

What Electricians Say Of Taking Life by
Means of q Battery.
An electrician at the Edison building,
in Pearl street, where electricity is
manufactured for illuminating pur-
poses, was asked how people might be
killed with neatness and dispatch by
electricity. He said that it was the
easiest matter in the world. All a con-
demned man would have to do at the
hour and moment when he was to leave
the world for brighter chimes, would be
to take hold of two wires, one connected
with positive battery and the other
with negative battery. Acting thus
as a conductor between the two wires
the electricity would 60 through him
like stroke of lightning. He would
die in an infinitesimal fraction of a
second. His taking off would be as
painless as it was sudden. He would
never know what had hit him.
He might stand on two plates, re-
ceive the electric current through his
toes and die with his boots on. He
might sit in chair with his feet rest
ing on the plates, and die comfortably.
Killing the condemned by electricity
is a humane, civilized and scientific
way Of disposing of them. A man is
usually sixteen minutes dying at tho
end of a hangman's rope, and he usu-
ally suffers a great deal before death
comes to relieve him. A one-cell bat
terry would kill all the prisoners who
will ever be hanged in the Tombs
under the present law. The only peo-
pie opposed to the use of electricity in
capital punishment are the hangmen.
and they are opposed to it because it
would throw them out of work. If the
gallowses are taken down all the. hang
men in the country will strike.--M Y.

There is an ancient fish-like flavor in
the announcement that sub-commit-
tee of the Senate is investigating a tale
OF outra ge in Texas. Measured by IT,,
calendar it is not so long since an in
vestlgation of this kind formed one Of
the relaxations of every session of Con-
gress. The result was never any thing
practical. The most that was achieved
was a more or less picturesque exhibit
ton of Southern manners and customs
and the manufacture of cam l.aign
thunder
1t is proof how fast the world
should have so antiquated an air 1t
may be a proof also how slowly the
Senate moves that the majority of its
members should imagine that there is

achieved by an investigation of this
sort Senator Hoar by some mischance

lard-cheese and suet-butter issue,
though one of these committals was
professional and perhaps does not
count. Upon silver and Civil-Service
reform and other topics of current in
terest upon which men differ, he has
avoided disfavor by maintaining
silence. But there can be no dissent
from the proposition that outrages are
outrageous. Mr.. Evarts may shed the
last word of his vocabulary in defense
of that proposition without running
the least risk, and it is to be expected
that the subject matter of this investi-
cation will afford a eongenial theme
for the eloquence so often obstructed
by a consideration of the uncertainty
of human affairs.-N. Y. Times.

the-way of transgressions is hard, and
anyhow" said the Captain, break
ing off his quotation rather hastily, as
he saw a gleeful twinkle in Polly's
eyes, "anyhow, it took nigh all the
wages Jim had comm to him, and so
he felt so bad that he went to c'nsult a
great London lawyer about it"
Il don't see what good that would
do" observed practical Polly; but, pay
ing no attention to his daughters un-
conscious sarcasm, the Captain went
on:
The lawyer. he studied over it a
spell, and told Jim to go off to sea
az in, and, when he came back to Lon
don, to give him call. So Jim went
off, and shipped on long wye, and
it was nigh two years fore he was
back; the .Win'sor CASTLE she'd
come in meanwhile, and the lawyer
had her ibeled, as they call ia kind

'tachment on property. And what do
you s'pose," asked the Captain, slowly,
at this eliminating point of interest,
"what do you s'pose was the charge
he brought ag'in the owners of the
ship?"
Polly timidly thought it might be the
sailors false imprisonment; she remem-
bered to have heard that such things
were done sometimes, while Tad shook
his head in silent bewilderment.
